Poor decisions
A few days back, I read a report that the present government was going to change the name of "Zia International Airport" to Hazrat Shah Jalal (RA) Airport. This is not quite unexpected news for me since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina plays the name game when she is in power. The perfect example is "P.G Hospital" which was changed to "Bangubandhu Sheikh Mujib Hospital". Secondly, the name of "Zia Udyan" and "Chandrima Udyan" were changed.
Third is Bangabandhu Novo Theatre, instead of "Moulana Bhashani Novo Theatre". Fourth is Bangabandhu Stadium.
My question is why is she playing with these names? Why is she emphasizing these narrow things, rather than development of our economy? We are still buying commodities with high prices, no jobs, no manpower export, no security etc.
I personally believe that both leaders are great. There should not be any question if we put the names of those leaders.
